Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
How we price a hog roast for your team
Each price is built from:
- Travel to Rookley Green
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
- What the outdoor space is like
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.

Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist.

Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.

Send your requirements, and the quote will include the terms.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
